    Passed NCLEX RN! Read This :D

    RNsRWe replied to Pmcollette's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Some States post updates daily, others a few times a week, others weekly, and still others only every few weeks. I don't know how long Mass takes to do its thing, but I'm quite sure that if your job...

    Quick Results on a Saturday

    RNsRWe replied to SF489's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Quick Tip for message board success: don't post the same question on multiple threads! Those of us who answer only want to do it once And I just answered you on another of your threads ?

    Is it good to do the PVT 4 days after the exam?

    RNsRWe replied to Vinsanitii's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is absolutely no point in doing multiple PVTs; the results will not change. There is one reason to NOT do it, though, and that is that you might just find PV accepting your payment regardless...

    Aspiring nursing student!

    RNsRWe replied to EmchEm's topic in General Nursing

    You must become a licensed RN prior to becoming an advanced-practice nurse, such as an NP. Med-surg is a required rotation in nursing school, and the most common starting place for new grads in acute...

    Quick results : Pass

    RNsRWe replied to Mike0121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Several States (maybe it's all of them now?) do not recognize a BSN from the Phillipines as the equivalent of a complete nursing degree in the US. It's not so much a "refresher" as "completion"...

    Took the NCLEX today

    RNsRWe replied to Lady Kathryn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes. For quality assurance purposes, each exam has to undergo two sets of reviews: the first one concludes at the time your exam stops, which is why it stopped where it did. In a small number of...

    Facts about answering 265 Q's

    RNsRWe replied to SteveVBall05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The topic is considered closed when there is a lock on it closing it. I bring up your not having passed this exam multiple times as a means of redirecting those who are focusing on the wrong material...

    Facts about answering 265 Q's

    RNsRWe replied to SteveVBall05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can read English, thank you (talk about rude!) and have removed a piece of text that I wrote mistakenly. YOU, on the other hand ARE STILL WRONG. I need to contact no one, as I have read the...

    Facts about answering 265 Q's

    RNsRWe replied to SteveVBall05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I"m sorry, but you have posted INCORRECT information. It's worth mentioning that you have failed this exam five times....and haven't passed yet. Perhaps you are not the best authority on NCLEX at...

    Calling yourself an RN

    RNsRWe replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Regarding the seeming abundance of students who portray themselves as nurses, I'm actually a little surprised it's being permitted by their schools. Seeing as how they are carrying around tote bags...

    How much info can a roommate get?

    RNsRWe replied to Rexie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Oh, I hear ya. But it IS a significant problem in other areas, like I said. Hospitals aren't afraid of losing patients to other hospitals, because the setup I described is commonplace in my area....

    How much info can a roommate get?

    RNsRWe replied to Rexie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    For the facilities I've worked in (and still do) there simply isn't the ROOM to have all privates. Turning double rooms into singles means literally half the open beds, and THAT'S not gonna happen....

    How hard is it?

    RNsRWe replied to manda90's topic in General Students

    Well, one person will tell you he has three degrees and nursing was the hardest. Another will tell you that it wasn't a big deal at all. MUCH depends on the program, the school involved. If you are...

    Results on Hold

    RNsRWe replied to SF489's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It doesn't. But there is a quality assurance system in place that will "flag" any anomaly, to make sure that the test's validity can be verified. Sometimes people know immediately what it was that...

    How much info can a roommate get?

    RNsRWe replied to Rexie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I've never known it to be permissible to tell a roommate ANYTHING about why the other occupant was moved. People are exposed to a bazillion things on a daily basis, but that doesn't give anyone the...

    Diploma in Nursing VS BSN

    RNsRWe replied to Ayanna93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    More in certain regions than elsewhere. I believe Pennsylvania still has several. Someone posted here not long ago about being a graduate of a diploma school program, how hard she worked at it, etc...

    How soon can I re-apply to retake NCLEX if i think I've failed?

    RNsRWe replied to alva78's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I must be missing something. If it has been long enough that you can pay for Quick Results....do that. It is beyond foolish to start a process for registration for another NCLEX if you don't need to....

    Results on Hold

    RNsRWe replied to SF489's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The explanation is simple: a Hold is placed for a variety of reasons, and when it is lifted (typically 24-72 hours) your results will be made available. A hold can be placed for a palm scan or...

    Hell, if I had had a clue what nursing REALLY was before I enrolled in school, not so sure *I* would have done it! Maybe ignorance IS bliss

    Some people are too smart for nursing

    RNsRWe replied to Careerchange88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ha! That's a good one. Too smart for nursing. :) FWIW, it's pretty commonplace to have a patient or family/visitor say to the nurse taking care of the loved one that "you're too smart to JUST be a...
